☕💙 12 WEEKS OF SRB OFFICIALLY OPEN 💙☕
It’s quite hard to believe that we only opened our doors in July.
Just 12 weeks later, we’re nearly at 1,300 followers on our coffee shop page — but more importantly, we’ve built a little community that I’m incredibly proud of.
We’ve had people from Newhey, Milnrow, Rochdale and the surrounding areas support us from day one, but we’ve also had people from across the UK — and even from other countries — find us online and pop in for a coffee while they were passing through.
That still blows my mind a little bit. 💙
She Remains Brave didn’t actually begin as a coffee shop.
It began as an advocacy page in April.
Then I realised I wanted to turn everything behind SRB into something with an even bigger purpose — somewhere people could physically walk through the door, feel welcome, find community and at the same time help support the advocacy work behind it.
That’s how our little coffee shop became part of the bigger picture.
SRB has also become somewhere people can come and talk, ask for help or simply find out where they can access the right support. Where I can, I’ll advocate, signpost and help people find their way through things that can sometimes feel impossible to navigate alone.
And if I’m completely truthful, every person I’m able to help helps me a little bit too. Turning something incredibly personal into something that can support somebody else has become part of my own journey and my own healing.
Every coffee, breakfast, cake and little treat bought from us helps us keep building what SRB stands for.
People have shared our posts, brought friends in, joined our groups, volunteered, supported our events and helped turn this place into far more than I ever imagined in 12 weeks.

For a little coffee shop that is only 12 weeks old, I think we’re doing alright. 💙
Thank you to every single person who has supported us so far.
